Axes3d Scatter: Color and Size don't work

[ddale]

Original report at SourceForge, opened Thu Dec 3 05:41:49 2009

Hi,

in the current version (0.99.0), color ("c") and size ("s") attributes to axes3d scatter plots do not work. Color seems to work for scalar colors, but size does not.

As a test case, take something like http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/mplot3d/scatter3d_demo.html (for which (scalar) color works) and add size:

ax.scatter(xs, ys, zs, c=c, s=c)

The problem seems to be present still in version 1.0.1 but 1.1.0svn seems to work correctly.

I am very interested in the fate of this bug. I have found a reply for this bug on Google: http://old.nabble.com/3D-Axes-scatter-:-no-possibility-to-vary-color-size-of-markers-td26335289.html
but there is little info on the bug page on Sourceforge.
This bug was filled against version 0.99.0 - I have version 0.99.1.2 on Centos 5.5 and I am still struggling with this bug.
As the reply on the mailing list said, this bug had been fixed in svn.
Could someone tell me when the fix will be available on Centos, or in which version of matplotlib it is actually fixed?
Or is there some workaround I could use to plot a colored scatter plot in 3D?
Thanks.
